People are drawn to the vibrant, tangy
flavors found only in goat cheese. Great goat cheeses
capture the essence of their native pastures and often
exhibit fresh flavors such as of thyme, tarragon,
rosemary, lemongrass and pine. Their ease of digestion,
particularly for the lactose intolerant among us, is
another reason for the popularity of goat cheese.
2 full pounds of wonderful goat cheese
includes:
▪ Ibores
(Spain): This raw goat's milk cheese reflects its
homeland with its full, simple flavor. It is hard and
dense and becomes sharper with age. During its two-month
aging period, the rustic cheese is rubbed with a mixture
of olive oil and sweet paprika.
▪
Buche de Chevre (France): This
wonderful goat's milk cheese from Poitou in the Loire
Valley is aged for two months, during which time it
develops a hard, edible crust complete with a bloomy
white mold coating. It is sharp and tangy near the rind
and gets progressively richer and creamier toward the
center.
▪
Cornelia (Holland): Cornelia
is made from a single herd of goats that graze on
pastures of natural grasses and wild herbs. This
old-world style of raising goats yields a remarkably
flavorful milk that gives Cornelia an abundance of
character.
▪
Goat Cheddar by Cypress Grove
(USA): Sharp and smooth, this cheddar is aged a minimum
of one year, giving it a complex, nutty flavor, with a
subtle undertone of classic goat's milk flavor.
▪
Water Crackers: Perfect for
serving with cheeses, fruit, and spreads when
entertaining (4 oz)
Please note that any item temporarily out of stock will
be substituted with a similar item of equal or greater
value. |

When the word cheese is mentioned,
most of us immediately think of France. We can't help
it; it's a knee-jerk reaction. As excellent as are the
hundreds of cheeses that originate from all corners of
the globe, France is always the first country the comes
to mind when discussing cheese making.
This French Cheese Assortment captures a
good bit of French cheese culture with the four cheeses
listed below. One is of the "stinky" variety; one is a
triple-creme; one is a chevre; and one is a mountain
cheese from the Alps.
2 full pounds of wonderful French cheese includes:
:
▪
Buche de Chevre:
This classic French goat cheese is slightly aged, giving
it a lot of character. Formed in the shape of a log (Buche
is French for log), enjoy this cheese on salads,
as a snack, or with fruit for dessert.
▪
Saint Andre:
This decadent triple-creme is utterly delicious, and an
amazingly rich and creamy
cheese that is made from fresh cow's milk and enriched
with pure cream.
It has it's own unique flavor, that melts in your mouth.
▪
Pont L'Eveque:
One of the world's ancient cheeses, Pont L'Eveque dates
back to the Thirteenth Century. It is well known for its
delicate bouquet, which is said to be reminiscent of the
Norman countryside. However, it does tend to have a
strong, pungent aroma that is not for the timid.
▪
Gruyere de Comte©:
Created by local villagers in alpine dairies called "Fruiteries",
its milk comes only from Montbeliarde and
Tachete de L'est cows. Each 70 pound plus wheel of
Comte© is aged for at least six months, resulting in a
sweet and nutty masterpiece!..
